With eight scintillating scenes, this is like having two films in one. What a bargain that is in these hard economic times. SLOW HEAT IN A TEXAS TOWN is a veritable scorcher, and director Joe Gage proves he is still at the top of his form.

Four scenes in which the studs carry guns but only shoot off their dicks. Not up to the usual stadard of Titan but still worth a gander due to the final scene with Schulter and Jager. Marco Blaze's mighty member is also worth viewing.

JACKED-UP Starring Steve Carlisle, Joe Hix, Bruce Jennings, Eddie Moreno, Mitch Ryder, Jack Simmons, Ross Taylor and Rolio Vizzaro. Directed (brilliantly) by Harold Craig & Brian Mills. When directors Harold Craig and Brian Mills get their camera rolling, it rocks. Their erotic foray into the world of medicine, LAID UP, is still one of my favorite flicks on dvd; and the latest to arrive in my dvd player, JACKED-UP, maintains the same quality that I've come to expect from this dynamic duo of directors. This time the action, and there is quite a bit of it, is centered around the workers and customers of an auto body shop. The bodies that get the work, however, are not four-wheeled, but rather the two-legged human variety. Variety is the key to JACKED-UP's enjoyment: each man is unique, from the swarthy, if greasy style of pony-tailed Joe Hix, to the short, squat, slightly dangerous charms of Rolio Vizzaro; who not only packs a mean dick, but has found new-fangled ways to use a screwdriver.

I have to admit I was a bit disappointed with "Jacked Up. Dont get me wrong, it has all the hardcore sex you could ask for but I miss the great scenery in such Titan hits as Heat, Desert Train, and Eruption. Instead we are treated with a bunch of dirty mechanics, and I mean dirty, fucking around in a garage. My other complaint is that it stars Joe Hix. This guy with his unshaven, scruffy face, long hair, dirty black fingernails and bad attitude didnt do a thing for me. Oh, and he has a nice, big, red pimple on his leg that stands out like a sore thumb! Put some makeup on that thing! The one thing I really did enjoy though was the extra interview with Eddie Moreno and some behind the scenes footage. Eddie came off pretty personable, has a nice smile, and loves his balls tied! Hes interviewed in the nude as he plays with his hard cock and it was fun to watch. Overall the production is well done with good editing, visually clear, and great camera angles as are all the Titan line.
